Report Description

Global Human Microbiome Market: Overview

The human microbiome also known as microbiota is composed of population of microbes such as fungi, bacteria and archaea. These microbes reside on the surface or in the deep layers of skin in oral mucosa, the saliva, gastrointestinal tracts and in the conjunctiva. At present, extensive research is being conducted to discover the importance of these micro-organisms in maintaining immune systems and contributing to digestion of food.

Large number of microbes reside in the large intestine, with region of the human body having a distinct community of microbes dwelling. Studies are still in progress to understand the factors regulating microbial colonization in areas of the body that are just millimeters apart. The Human Microbiome Project (HMP) was launched in 2008 as a U.S. National Institute of Health. This was initiated with a goal of identifying and characterizing the microbes found within the healthy and diseases human body.

These factors would help the market players to take strategic decisions in order to strengthen their positions and expand their share in the global market.

Global Human Microbiome Market: Segmentation

Based on indication, the global human microbiome diagnostics market has been segmented into Gastrointestinal and Metabolic disorders, Women’s Health, Cancer and Others. Gastrointestinal & metabolic disorders are likely to show most promising growth in the market owing to the higher unmet medical need for gut health disorders as well as a rise in population suffering from faulty- lifestyle based metabolic diseases.

Based on technology, the market has been segmented into 16s rRNA sequencing and metagenomic sequencing. Both the forms have been documented to have various advantages with regard to accurate testing and hence, both these segments garner nearly equal share of the overall diagnostics market during the forecast period. Based on therapeutic area, the market has been segmented into Gastrointestinal Disorders, Metabolic disorders, Women’s Health, Skin Disorders and Others. Other therapeutic areas include autoimmune disorders, infant health disorders, and rare diseases.

Geographically, the global human microbiome market has been segmented into five regions: North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. In addition, the regions have been further segmented by major countries. These include the U.S., Canada, the U.K., Germany, China, Japan, Brazil, Mexico, the UAE, and South Africa. The competition landscape section included in the report is likely to assist the existing players to increase their market shares and new companies to establish their presence in the human microbiome market.
